The Xbox One S is a slick looking game console that's 40 percent smaller than the original and ditches the infamously gigantic power brick. It can display 4K video from streaming services and Ultra HD Blu-rays
And supports HDR contrast on video and games
Vastly reduced physical footprint
4K & HDR streaming
HDR gaming
Xbox platform is steadily improving.

Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs
And may require some trial and error. The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor. Project Scorpio
Abstract: I can see this new Xbox console being a polarising one for the gaming community. Here it is, a brand new Xbox console – without a disc drive! THE SHOCK!Here's why that's an issue. You buy a game at the shops, or online and you take it home – the box sit...

Needs adapter for Kinect, Could fragment Xbox One audience, 4K gaming limited to upscaling
The Xbox One S is the pinnacle of what Microsoft set out to create three years ago. But being sleeker, cheaper and more powerful than its predecessor, the One S could also rub early adopters (who shelled out for Kinect) the wrong way...
My official ranking overall? The Xbox One Elite controller on top, then the Xbox One S, Xbox 360, and in last place the original stock Xbox One controller. The Elite still has quite a bit going for it—even after almost a year of use, my Elite's analog...
Abstract: Microsoft launched the Xbox One S earlier this month , revitalizing its current-generation console lineup with some new features. Here's how it stacks up against the previous version.The Xbox One S is 40 percent smaller than its predecessor and is built t...
If the Xbox One S is meant to atone for the original One's botched launch, it's job done. This is a great 4K Blu-ray player, and it does a fab job of upscaling your favourite games into 4K.But it's not the only 4K games console out this year.The lingering...
For me, the One S is the equivalent of retooling an American automobile for the European market, shrinking it down while adding the latest gizmos to appeal to a fresh audience.For PC fans who already happen to own an Xbox One and don't own a 4K TV, I'd sa...

4K, Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs, and may require some trial and error. The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor. Project Scorpio, the more powerful Xbox One successor, arrives in late 2017
The Xbox One S is the console Microsoft should have delivered three years ago, but there's little reason to upgrade if you already own the original box...
Supports High Dynamic Range, Xbox Game Pass is an awesome deal, Price point
Upscales to 4K, not natively, User interface is a nightmare,
The Microsoft Xbox One S is an interesting beast: it's a gaming console with an emphasis on entertainment while keeping its price sweet and simple. We think it's perfect for newcomers to experience Xbox games without dropping a lot of cash. And if you hav...
Can play games, Built-in 4K Blu-Ray Player, 1TB storage
Games aren't in true 4K, Only one frontal USB port, Requires an adapter for Kinect to work,
The Xbox One S is a great combination of gaming console and blu-ray player. It's getting replaced with a new console by the end of the year and might get even cheaper. Unlike the One X, this console doesn't play games in true 4K. That said, it's much chea...
